Funded Activity Summary
Hole Spintronics – making your spin last longer. Most electronic devices are powered by conventional transistors that use a 50-year-old technology. Spin-based electronics (spintronics) uses the electron’s spin instead of its charge to store, process and transfer information. Although half of all transistors on a chip use holes, almost all research has focused on electrons. However, holes have completely different spin properties than electrons, and are predicted to have significant advantages for spintronics. This project aims to develop new materials and techniques for making hole spin-based electronics, engineer long-lived hole spin states, and develop the knowledge that will underpin future spintronic devices for the semiconductor industry.Funded Activity Details
